This was fully documented in the soviet archives too. Here's an article about it: https://archive.is/6afHk

I predict many downvotes but few comments on this one in particular

I didn't see where this was posted and assumed it was on hexbear. Kind of spicy and daring to post it here. Looking forward to the trenches.

It's not so much the non aggression part that people have a problem with, it's more the let's together invade Poland and hold a celebratory victory parade after that normal people find not so nice.

Germany invaded Poland, and in response, the USSR went into Poland to keep Germany from occupying all of Poland, which would have broken the agreement regarding “spheres of influence.” In fact, Germany did break that agreement, and the “parade” was about Germany withdrawing from its overreach into the USSR’s “sphere.”

It marked the withdrawal of German troops to the demarcation line secretly agreed to in the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, and the handover of the city and its fortress to the Soviet Red Army.

Once Germany entered Poland, all of Poland would have been occupied by the Nazis if the USSR did nothing, and that would have put the German forces right on the USSR’s border.

Liberals will never forgive the USSR for not letting Germany have all of Poland
